I got married in 2012. My husband and in-laws kept me with them for just two months, during which I faced severe violence and harassment. I’ve been living with my parents since then. We reported the abuse to the police, but they didn’t take any action. What can we do now?

You can file a complaint with the National Commission for Women or the State Commission for Women. You can also file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and the Indian Penal Code for the offences committed against you.

My husband and I got married in May 2012, and our baby boy is just a month old. I’m a government employee currently on maternity leave. Since the baby’s arrival, my mother-in-law has been making my life difficult. She constantly finds fault with me and manipulates my husband against me. He, unfortunately, blindly follows her, believing her lies and creating unnecessary fights. She even tells him, right in front of me, to divorce me and remarry! I’m feeling helpless, especially since I have a tiny baby to care for. Adding to my woes, my husband and his mother constantly ask for money, despite my contribution to the family income. My husband even demands my entire salary without any accountability. For the last two weeks, I’ve been staying with my parents for peace of mind. If they decide to file for divorce, what legal options do I have? I don’t want to initiate divorce, but their constant threats and pressure are terrifying. They’ve even said I’ll lose my son and get nothing in a divorce. I’m incredibly scared and mentally exhausted. How can I protect myself and my child in this situation?

My brother is facing a difficult situation with his wife. They’ve been married for a few years, and things have been very tough. She’s filed a dowry and harassment case against him and our parents, accusing them of mistreatment. She’s still living at our home, despite the case, and continues to harass my parents with false accusations and police calls. She even gets a monthly payment from my brother through the court. The situation is deeply troubling, and I’m worried about my family’s well-being. Can someone offer advice on how to navigate this complex and stressful situation?

My sister-in-law has filed a false complaint against my brother-in-law at the Mahila Police Thana. What should we do? We also want to get a divorce. How can we proceed?

My husband and his father abandoned me and my daughter at a temple a year ago, leaving us completely alone. Since then, neither he nor anyone from his family has reached out. I’ve been living with my parents, struggling to cope with the emotional and physical trauma I experienced during the marriage. What are my rights in this situation? What legal options do I have?

My ex-wife and I mutually agreed to a divorce a few years ago, which the court approved. Recently, the police from the area where the previous domestic violence case was filed visited my home, saying they were following up on it. My ex-wife claims she had no idea the case was still pending. Now, she seems to be using it to cause trouble. My question is, since we had a legally binding divorce, does this old domestic violence case still hold any weight? Can she file a new one against me? I’m confused about my legal standing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
